Literacy
This half term we will be reading ‘The Gruffalo’ by Julia Donaldson. This is a fun story with rhyme, interesting characters and colourful illustrations. The pupils will be learning about the characters within the story and will be supported in creating work around the book.
In write dance sessions, the pupils will develop their fine motor skills by making colourful marks and shapes on a range of themes.
Amazon’s description of the book: This award-winning rhyming story of a mouse and a monster has found its way into the hearts and bedtimes of an entire generation of children and will undoubtedly continue to enchant children for years and years to come.
A mouse took a stroll through the deep dark wood.
A fox saw the mouse and the mouse looked good.
Walk further into the deep dark wood, and discover what happens when a quick-witted mouse comes face to face with an owl, a snake . . . and a hungry Gruffalo!
